Commit point in SqlLoader, Used rows not working

Question

I am using SqlLoader to load huge file for this I need to change commit point.

I have used rows=1000 but it is not reflecting while executing. I have tried below command to do this :

>sqlldr user/pass@db control=myctl.ctl log=mylog.log rows=1000 

The above command is not changing the commit point for me. Is there any oracle environment file do I need to modify to change the commit point?

Answer 1

There is also the bindsize to consider. Bump that up to ensure that you get the rows values you want. eg

C:\temp>sqlldr control=emp.ctl userid=/@db18_pdb1
